JACKSON TO FRONT.
Stand as Second County In Oregon
In Assessed Wealth.
Salem Jackson county Las sprang
to second place among the counties of
Oregon In taxable weakb. Marion
county, which has for many years occn-
pled second place, ba dropped to sun
place, and perhaps lower. Not all the
assessment returns have been received
yet, but it la already apparent that at
least three counties Lava stepped above
Marlon in assessed valuation.
Multnomah county, of course, is still
first, her assessment for 1900 not yet
being definitely known. Jackson Will
come second with a valuation of over
112,000,000. Washington probably
third with $10,660,000, Umatilla prob
ably fourth with $10,165,000, and Ma
rlon probably fifth with $9,824,000.
There are a number of wealthy counties
yet to report, among them being Lane,
Linn and Clackamas, any or wbtcn may
surpass Marion and put that county
still further down the list.
Jackson county's assessment this year
shows an Increase of about 200 per
cent for last year the assessment was
only $4,650,000.
NO DELAY ON KLAMATH.
Bids Will Soon Be Called for on Two
More 8ectlons of Ditch.
Klamath Fall Unofficial announce
ment come from the officials of the
Reclamation service here that the gov
eminent is not going to cause any de
lay in completing the great irrigation
pro ect for Klamath basin.
A few weeks ago it thought, and, in
fact, announced unofficially, that the
government was not going to rush work
on any of the Klamath projects very
rapidly, aave the first section, for which
the bids for construction are to be open
ed in San Francisco December 29
This was said to be the wish of the offi
clals. because it would not throw i
large proportion of the surplus lands
on the market at one time and thereby
cause any glut in the land market, and
would give private owners a better op
portunity to realize the worth of their
lands. Now the announcement that
bids will be called for immediately
after the opening of the bids for the
first section for two more sections of
ditch is evidence that Uncle 6am ei
pects to lorn no time in completing this
great irrigation protect. Just as toon
as the other bids are opened bids wilj
be called for these two second sections,
and work will be commenced on -Ihetn
early in the spring.
MEET AT PORTLAND IN JANUARY
Development League and Press Asso
ciation to Hold Joint Session. "
The Oregon Development league and
the Oregon Press association will hold
a joint convention nnder the auspices
of the Portland Commercial club, Janu
ary 12 and 13. A rate of one fare for
the round trip will be made from Rose-
burg and all points south and from
Pendleton and all points east. ' The
rate from those points nearer Portland
will be a fare and a third for the round
trip. The program of this meeting is
now being prepared and gives promise
of being the most interesting of 'it
character yet held in this state elab
orate preparations for entertainment
are also being made by the Portland
Commercial club. In addition to the
joint meeting of the two organizations
there will be business meetings of each,
while sections will discuss a particular
industry only.
Excursion to California.
Under the auspices of the Oregon
Development league, and immediately
following the joint convention of the
league and Press association, an Oregon
excursion will be run to California.
While the special train will start from
Portland the party will be made up of
members from all fparti of the state
Each individual ticket, including round
trip fare. Pullman berth to Los Angeles
and three mals on the diner, will be
$63 when two persons occupy one
berth, charge wilt be $58 each. The
trip to Los Angeles, including stops at
principal California points, will occupy
about six days. At Los Angeles the
party will disband, returning as they
choose according to special railroad ar
rangement. Secretary Tom Richardson
of the Oregon Development league, will
furnish any information, and those de
siring to go should send their names to
him.
Chautauqua Wants LaFollette.
Oregon City Secretary Harvey .
Cross, of the Willamette Valley Chau
tauqua association, has gone to San
Francisco where he will attend the an
nual meeting of delegates representing
the various Pacific coast assemblies,
when plans will be arranged for the co
operation of these associations in the
holding of this year's Chautauqua as
semblies. While the probable talent
that will be engaged for this year's
meetings has not been determined, it
is understood that the effort to procure
the services of Senator LaFollette, of
Wisconsin, will be renewed this year.
An unsuccessful attempt was made last
year to engage this national celebrity.
Big Timber Tract Sold.
Medford A deal has been consum
mated whereby C. C.Beekman, of Jack
sonville, sold a timber tract of 1,640
acres on Butte creek, in Jackson coun
ty, to J. C. Dudley, of Michigan, the
consideration being $25,000. This
tract is on the proposed Medford &
Crater Lake railroad, which is now
completed to Eagle Point, about 20
miles from the timber in question.
There are other persons here now nego
tiating for the vast timber tracts that
will be opened up by the Crater Lake
railroad.
Wallowa Bridged.
Elgin Word has been received in
this city that the temporary bridge
across the Wallowa has been complet
ed. In the near future the new steel
structure will be under headway, to
unite permanently Union and Wallowa
counties. ' This will be built about
700 or 800 feet above the old site, as
the O. R. & N. Co. gave $1,500 for
this change. The company's surveyed
right of way interferes at the old site.
The old bridge collapsed while cattle
were being driven across last summer.
Ontario Values Advancing.
. Ontario David Wilson denies the
truth ot the report that he has sold his
townsite property to J. P. Howard, of
Sumpter, and he says further that he
has no intention of disposing of the
property at present. Howard had an
option on the holdings, by which he
was to pay $30,000 for the property
but the option has expired. Mr. Wil
son's agents report that within the last
month he has sold lots in the townslte
to the value of $13,000, and has con
tracts for $16,000 in addition.
Violate Factory Laws.
Salem Labor Commissioner Iloff
has returned from a five weeks' tour
of inspection of the mills and lactone!
in Jackson, Coos, Josephine and parts
of Lane and Douglas countries. Dor
ing his - absence he visited 146 mills
and factories and in most of them he
found exposed shafts and part of ma
chines which are a menace to life and
limb as long as they are neglected.
The owners were notified in each
instance to make improvements, which
if made, will lessen the chance of ser
ions accidents happening.
Two Railroads tor Wallowa.
Enterprise While the Wallowa Val
ley people are rejoicing over the assur
ance of the extension of the O. R. & N
to Enterprise there comes the possi
bility of the county getting another
railroad in the north end. Bogers
Bros., of Asotin, ate surveying a route
up the Grand Ronde, with the inten
tion of building an electric road from
their towneite on the Snake. This will
take a very fertile farming country.
